For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the tomato sauce mixture. Feel free to substitute ground chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken for the tenderloins. If you don't have cream cheese on hand, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute. To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free cornbread mix. You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Oct 23, 2023The cornbread topping was a little dry, so next time I'll add a tablespoon of sour cream to the batter.
